The following issue is happening to my wife on her 2G upon updating to OS 3.0.

The slider bar will appear for a few seconds in it's locked state, the rotating timer wheel will appear briefly in the center of the screen, then the screen will go dark for a few seconds. It will continue to cycle like this for about 5 minutes or so.

Then the Apple will appear as if it's restarting, then promptly powers back up into the same locked state.

This just repeats over and over.

I cannot turn the phone off, and iTunes doesn't seem to want to give me the option to restore from backup.

This happened at the last possible instant of updating to 3.0 (This is my wife's phone, I had no problem updating my 2G.

Any ideas?
